Armiger
Armiger may also refer to the AGM Armiger anti-radiation missile. An armiger is a person entitled to use a coat of arms. Such a person is said to be armigerous.Originally an armiger was an Armour-Bearer or Esquire, attendant upon a Knight, but bearing his own unique armorial device. The term "armiger" is well-defined only within jurisdictions (such as the United KingdomCanadaIreland, and Spain) where heraldry is regulated by the state or heraldic body (such as the College of Arms in EnglandWales, and Northern Ireland, the Office of the Chief Herald in Ireland or the Court of the Lord Lyon in Scotland), since anyone may use any coat of arms in jurisdictions, such as the United States, which lack regulated heraldry.
